PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

[Hopestar]

No issues at all. After the card is expired, you can travel by land in your own car. Air travel will be a hassle. You can leave but you will need travel docs to return

Great. thanks so much for your reply

Hey guys!

It's been a VERY long time since I was last on these forums. Just thought I'd share my PR card renewal timeline. I was a bit worried, and this thread helped me get a feel for what I could expect. So here it goes:

Application received at Sydney, Nova Scotia by UPS: April 14, 2021
AOR received by email: August 11, 2021 (Status: In Process)
Decision Made: September 8, 2021
Complete: September 10, 2021 (It says they have sent out the card by mail)

I was a bit worried because I had big absences, but was within my RO requirements (I had an ~ 40 day buffer). After getting my PR in Feb of 2016, I went back to the US and spent 996 days there, before returning to Canada on Dec. 31, 2018.

After that, during my subsequent 2 years, I also went back to the US several times, once staying for over 30 days and another time for around 20 days. But in the end, it appears to have gone well. So, it should give some hope to those who are in a similar situation to mine!

No wonder they sent the card to you!

At IRCC, when they check your physical presence, they look at where you’re now, and if in Canada, for how long you’ve stayed there. Your case clearly demonstrates that you needed to do some stuff in the US, then you moved and settled in Canada with some occasional trips to the US.

The opposite situation would raise the red flag: you lived in Canada, say for 3 years, THEN you moved to the US and lived there for 1.5 years. So when IRCC checks your physical presence, they will realize that you’re most probably not committed to stay in Canada, even though you have 1-year margin (at the time when you signed and sent the application) for your physical presence. This is the case when your card will be sent to a local office and will be held there for some time (more than a year for some people) for you to think about your future and your commitments…

Hi, thanks for sharing your timeline for PR renewal application. Happy to see that all went well with having only a 40 day buffer and still be within your RO requirements.
Did you have to send copies of pages of stamped dates in your passport to support your document of travel dates outside Canada in your application?

If your case is easy less than a week. If you are unlucky and they send your file for secondary review, only God knows when. I afraid of the latter, because it happened to me last time.

Usually how long then will gonna take for secondary review?

Mine took about 5 weeks from Decision Made to Complete (with the card in the mail).

I am out patience now :-(

When I was logging in to check the status.. it was marked Decision Made. It stayed there for a while.

Today it's showing nothing. Not able to retrieve any information. Just like how it was before I got the AOR. It's not picking up my expired PR card number like it used to.

When I checked the website for more information this is what I found:

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=030&top=3

Why can’t I see my application status in the Client Application Status tool?

We removed your application from the tool
After we make a decision, we eventually remove your application from the CAS tool. The length of time depends on the type of application.

• Permanent resident applications: 180 days after you arrive in Canada
• Permanent resident card applications: 30 days after you get your card
• Citizenship applications: 180 days after we make a decision
• Visa applications: 365 days after you were refused, you withdrew or your application expired

After DM how do I know if mine was completed or was rejected etc?

This is all so frustrating..

Anybody else the same situation.. how long does it typically take from Decision Made to finally getting the PR renewed card in your mail?

Update!
Hey Guys! Got my new renewed PR Card in mail today! Finally on Sept 13th 2021.

One key thing is that after DM .. they removed my application from the ECAS tool and I was not able to see any updates there.
I just got the new one today!

Thanks. No, I did not have to send anything extra at all. It was just the regular, normal application process.

First time or renewal? Your timeline is strange. Have you followed up with them?

We had sent our application package for PR Card replacement (first card never received) (myself,spouse and 2 kids). 4 application in a single package. It was received at Sydney office on April 30th. My spouse got AOR on August 30 However didn't receive AOR for myself and my kids. Calling them or webform is not helping at all. Not sure what we need to do next. :-( Should we send new application for all three of us? Could anyone please suggest.
